The development and implementation of a low-cost mechanical ventilator in a low-middle-income country during the COVID-19 pandemic: The Unisabana-HERONS. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30671. [PMID: 38756610 PMCID: PMC11096896 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America generated the need to develop low-cost, fast-manufacturing mechanical ventilators. The Universidad de La Sabana and the Fundacion Neumologica Colombiana designed and manufactured the Unisabana-HERONS (USH) ventilator. Here, we present the preclinical and clinical study results to evaluate its effectiveness and safety characteristics in an animal model (Yorkshire Sow) and five patients with acute respiratory failure receiving mechanical ventilatory support for 24 h. Methods The effectiveness and safety outcomes included maintaining arterial blood gases and pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2), respiratory pressures and volumes (during continuous monitoring) in the range of ARDS and lung-protective strategy goals, and the occurrence of barotrauma. A significance level of 0.05 was used for statistical tests. This clinical trial was registered on Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04497623) and approved by the ethics committee. Results Among patients treated with the Unisabana-HERONS, the most frequent causes of acute respiratory failure were pneumonia in 3/5 (60 %) and ARDS in 2/5 (40 %). During the treatment, the ventilatory parameters related to lung protection protocols were kept within the safety range, and vital signs and blood gas were stable. The percentage of time that the respiratory pressures or volumes were out of safety range were plateau pressure >30 cm H2O: 0.00 %; driving pressure >15 cm H2O: 0.06 %; mechanical power >15 J/min: 0.00 %; and Tidal volume >8 mL/kg: 0.00 %. There were no adverse events related to the ventilator. The usability questionnaire retrieved a median score for all items between 9 and 10 (best score: 10), indicating great ease of use. Conclusion The Unisabana-HERONS ventilator effectively provided adequate gas exchange and maintained the ventilatory parameters in the range of lung protection strategies in humans and an animal model. Furthermore, it is straightforward to use and is a low-cost medical device.

Zaidi SF, Shaikh A, Khan DA, Surani S, Ratnani I. Driving pressure in mechanical ventilation: A review. World J Crit Care Med 2024; 13:88385. [PMID: 38633474 PMCID: PMC11019631 DOI: 10.5492/wjccm.v13.i1.88385] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Driving pressure (∆P) is a core therapeutic component of mechanical ventilation (MV). Varying levels of ∆P have been employed during MV depending on the type of underlying pathology and severity of injury. However, ∆P levels have also been shown to closely impact hard endpoints such as mortality. Considering this, conducting an in-depth review of ∆P as a unique, outcome-impacting therapeutic modality is extremely important. There is a need to understand the subtleties involved in making sure ∆P levels are optimized to enhance outcomes and minimize harm. We performed this narrative review to further explore the various uses of ∆P, the different parameters that can affect its use, and how outcomes vary in different patient populations at different pressure levels. To better utilize ∆P in MV-requiring patients, additional large-scale clinical studies are needed.

[PMID: 38390194 PMCID: PMC10881338 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high mortality. The impacts of body mass index (BMI) on the morality of older patients with ARDS remain unclear. Methods This is a single-center cohort study which was conducted at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan. Adult patients admitted to the ICU needing mechanical ventilation with ARDS were included for analysis. We compared the data of older patients (age ≥65 years) with those of younger patients (Age <65 years). The factors associated with in-hospital mortality of older patients were investigated. Results This study included a total of 728 (mean age: 66 years; men: 63%) patients, and 425 (58.4%) of them aged ≥65 years. Older patients exhibited lower body mass index (BMI) (23.8 vs 25.2), higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores (28.9 vs 26.3), higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (4.0 vs 3.4), and lower Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores (10.0 vs 11.1) than younger patients. Furthermore, older patients had mortality rates similar to younger patients (40.5% vs 42.9%, P = 0.542), but had longer length of stay in the ICU (17.6 vs 15.6 days, P = 0.047). For older patients, BMI <18.5 (odds ratio [OR], 2.78; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.45-5.34), high SOFA score (OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.12-1.28), and moderate (OR, 1.95; 95% CI 1.20-3.14) or severe ARDS (OR, 2.30; 95% CI 1.26-4.22) were independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusions In this cohort, critical ill older patients with ARDS had lower BMI, more comorbidities, and higher APACHE II scores than younger patients. Mortality rate was similar between older and younger patients. Low BMI, high SOFA score, and moderate or severe ARDS were independently associated with mortality in older patients with ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It may be necessary to admit patients receiving Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the intensive care unit (ICU). They were required to evaluate the length of ICU stay (LOS) following HIPEC, as well as their survival rates and risk factors that influence LOS. METHODS 74 HIPEC patients were observed after being admitted to the ICU. Their assignments were made based on their LOS at the ICU. Short stay group, patients who stayed in the ICU for three days or less (S-group) and patients who stayed for three days or longer (L-group). RESULTS Survival rates for both groups were comparable. After HIPEC, they exhibited intraoperative hypotension (P = 0.015), hyopthermia (P = 0.014), and hyperglycemia (P = 0.010). Additionally, patients in group L underwent longer surgeries (P = 0.013), lost more blood (P = 0.043), and required more transfusions (P = 0.001). Subjects in group-L had higher SOFA, fentanyl, and vasopressor requirements (all P 0.001), higher ALT and AST levels, disrupted K, lower Na, and higher INR levels (all P 0.001), as well as a higher APACHE II score (P = 0.007). Preoperative BUN had an independent risk factor for LOS of 0.861; (95% CI), (0.742- 0.999); P = 0.048; and crystalloid transfusion had an independent risk factor of 1.000; (95% CI), (0.999- 1.000); P = 0.003. CONCLUSIONS Transfusions of crystalloids and BUN were independent risk factors for extended LOS. ICU LOS had no impact on survival. All measures should be taken to control hemostasis in vulnerable HIPEC participants.

Abstract
Background: There are limited data on the clinical effects of prone positioning according to lung morphology. We aimed to determine whether the gas exchange response to prone positioning differs according to lung morphology.Methods: This retrospective study included adult patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The lung morphology of ARDS was assessed by chest computed tomography scan and classified as “diffuse” or “focal.” The primary outcome was change in partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio after the first prone positioning session: first, using the entire cohort, and second, using subgroups of patients with diffuse ARDS matched 2 to 1 with patients with focal ARDS at baseline.Results: Ninety-five patients were included (focal ARDS group, 23; diffuse ARDS group, 72). Before prone positioning, the focal ARDS group showed worse oxygenation than the diffuse ARDS group (median PaO2/FiO2 ratio, 79.9 mm Hg [interquartile range (IQR)], 67.7–112.6 vs. 104.0 mm Hg [IQR, 77.6–135.7]; P=0.042). During prone positioning, the focal ARDS group showed a greater improvement in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio than the diffuse ARDS group (median, 55.8 mm Hg [IQR, 11.1–109.2] vs. 42.8 mm Hg [IQR, 11.6–83.2]); however, the difference was not significant (P=0.705). Among the PaO2/FiO2-matched cohort, there was no significant difference in change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio after prone positioning between the groups (P=0.904).Conclusions: In patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS, changes in PaO2/FiO2 ratio after prone positioning did not differ according to lung morphology. Therefore, prone positioning can be considered as soon as indicated, regardless of ARDS lung morphology.

Prognostic value of neutrophils to lymphocytes and platelets ratio for 28-day mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective study. BMC Pulm Med 2022; 22:314. [PMID: 35971101 PMCID: PMC9376578 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-02112-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rapidly progressive and fatal respiratory failure disease that often occurs in critically ill patients. Since ARDS is associated with immune dysregulation and coagulation abnormalities, it is necessary to identify an appropriate predictor that can accurately predict ARDS mortality based on its pathophysiology. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of neutrophils to lymphocytes and platelets ratio (N/LPR) in predicting 28-day mortality in ARDS patients.
Methods From July 2018 to October 2021, the medical records of ARDS patients were retrospective reviewed. Neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, and platelet count were collected, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and N/LPR were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of 28-day mortality in ARDS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with the area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate optimal cut-off values for 28-day mortality in ARDS. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to estimate the 28-day survival probabilities stratified by optimal cut-off values of N/LPR and NLR. Results A total of 136 ARDS patients were included in this study and were further divided into survivors (n = 69) and non-survivors (n = 67) groups according to their survival status on day 28. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, sex, history of smoking and drinking, comorbidities, and reasons of admission (P > 0.05). Non-survivors had significantly higher neutrophil counts, NLR and N/LPR and had significantly lower platelet counts than survivors (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that N/LPR, NLR and platelet counts were independent predictors for 28-day mortality in ARDS (P < 0.05). The ROC analyses showed that N/LPR with optimal cut-off value of 10.57 (sensitivity: 74.6%; specificity: 72.5%) is a more reliable predictor for 28-day mortality in ARDS than NLR and platelet count (AUC: 0.785 vs. 0.679 vs. 0.326). Further subgroup analysis confirmed that ARDS patients with N/LPR < 10.57 had significantly lower 28-day mortality than patients with N/LPR ≥ 10.57 (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier analysis also confirmed that ARDS patients with N/LPR < 10.57 had significantly longer survival. Conclusion N/LPR is an independent risk factor associated with 28-day mortality in ARDS patients and shows better performance in predicting mortality rate than NLR.

Abstract
Background Large variability in mortality exists in patients of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), especially those with invasive ventilation. The aim of this study was to develop a model to predict risk of in-hospital death in ventilated ARDS patients. Methods Ventilated patients with ARDS from two public databases (MIMIC-III and eICU-CRD) were randomly divided as training cohort and internal validation cohort. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and then Logistic regression was used to construct a predictive model with demographic, clinical, laboratory, comorbidities and ventilation variables ascertained at first 24 h of ICU admission and invasive ventilation. Our model was externally validated using data from another database (MIMIC-IV). Results A total of 1075 adult patients from MIMIC-III and eICU were randomly divided into training cohort (70%, n = 752) and internal validation cohort (30%, n = 323). 521 patients were included from MIMIC-IV. From 176 potential predictors, 9 independent predictive factors were included in the final model. Five variables were ascertained within the first 24 h of ICU admission, including age (OR, 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01–1.03), mean of respiratory rate (OR, 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01–1.08), the maximum of INR (OR, 1.14; 95% CI: 1.03–1.31) and alveolo-arterial oxygen difference (OR, 1.002; 95% CI: 1.001–1.003) and the minimum of RDW (OR, 1.17; 95% CI: 1.09–1.27). And four variables were collected within the first 24 h of invasive ventilation: mean of temperature (OR, 0.70; 95% CI: 0.57–0.86), the maximum of lactate (OR, 1.15; 95% CI: 1.09–1.22), the minimum of blood urea nitrogen (OR, 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01–1.03) and white blood cell counts (OR, 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06). Our model achieved good discrimination (AUC: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.73–0.80) in training cohort but the performance declined in internal (AUC: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.69–0.80) and external validation cohort (0.70, 95% CI: 0.65–0.74) and showed modest calibration. Conclusions A risk score based on routinely collected variables at the start of admission to ICU and invasive ventilation can predict mortality of ventilated ARDS patients, with a moderate performance.

Abstract
Background The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. Methods The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. Results Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4–8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D), we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D), we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C), and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). Conclusions This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jsicm.org/publication/guideline.html). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The joint committee of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine/Japanese Respiratory Society/Japanese Society of Respiratory Care Medicine on ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline has created and released the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021. METHODS The 2016 edition of the Clinical Practice Guideline covered clinical questions (CQs) that targeted only adults, but the present guideline includes 15 CQs for children in addition to 46 CQs for adults. As with the previous edition, we used a systematic review method with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system as well as a degree of recommendation determination method. We also conducted systematic reviews that used meta-analyses of diagnostic accuracy and network meta-analyses as a new method. RESULTS Recommendations for adult patients with ARDS are described: we suggest against using serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin levels to identify bacterial pneumonia as the underlying disease (GRADE 2D); we recommend limiting tidal volume to 4-8 mL/kg for mechanical ventilation (GRADE 1D); we recommend against managements targeting an excessively low SpO2 (PaO2) (GRADE 2D); we suggest against using transpulmonary pressure as a routine basis in positive end-expiratory pressure settings (GRADE 2B); we suggest implementing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for those with severe ARDS (GRADE 2B); we suggest against using high-dose steroids (GRADE 2C); and we recommend using low-dose steroids (GRADE 1B). The recommendations for pediatric patients with ARDS are as follows: we suggest against using non-invasive respiratory support (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation/high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) (GRADE 2D); we suggest placing pediatric patients with moderate ARDS in the prone position (GRADE 2D); we suggest against routinely implementing NO inhalation therapy (GRADE 2C); and we suggest against implementing daily sedation interruption for pediatric patients with respiratory failure (GRADE 2D). CONCLUSIONS This article is a translated summary of the full version of the ARDS Clinical Practice Guideline 2021 published in Japanese (URL: https://www.jrs.or.jp/publication/jrs_guidelines/). The original text, which was written for Japanese healthcare professionals, may include different perspectives from healthcare professionals of other countries.

Repurposing Multiple-Molecule Drugs for COVID-19-Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Non-Viral Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome via a Systems Biology Approach and a DNN-DTI Model Based on Five Drug Design Specifications. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23073649. [PMID: 35409008 PMCID: PMC8998971 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic is currently raging around the world at a rapid speed. Among COVID-19 patients, SARS-CoV-2-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the main contribution to the high ratio of morbidity and mortality. However, clinical manifestations between SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS are quite common, and their therapeutic treatments are limited because the intricated pathophysiology having been not fully understood. In this study, to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated ARDS, first, we constructed a candidate host-pathogen interspecies genome-wide genetic and epigenetic network (HPI-GWGEN) via database mining. With the help of host-pathogen RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data, real HPI-GWGEN of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS were obtained by system modeling, system identification, and Akaike information criterion (AIC) model order selection method to delete the false positives in candidate HPI-GWGEN. For the convenience of mitigation, the principal network projection (PNP) approach is utilized to extract core HPI-GWGEN, and then the corresponding core signaling pathways of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS are annotated via their core HPI-GWGEN by KEGG pathways. In order to design multiple-molecule drugs of COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS, we identified essential biomarkers as drug targets of pathogenesis by comparing the core signal pathways between COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS. The deep neural network of the drug–target interaction (DNN-DTI) model could be trained by drug–target interaction databases in advance to predict candidate drugs for the identified biomarkers. We further narrowed down these predicted drug candidates to repurpose potential multiple-molecule drugs by the filters of drug design specifications, including regulation ability, sensitivity, excretion, toxicity, and drug-likeness. Taken together, we not only enlighten the etiologic mechanisms under COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS but also provide novel therapeutic options for COVID-19-associated ARDS and non-viral ARDS.

Aspirin Attenuates Hyperoxia-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) by Suppressing Pulmonary Inflammation via the NF-κB Signaling Pathway. Front Pharmacol 2022; 12:793107. [PMID: 35111059 PMCID: PMC8802116 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.793107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common destructive syndrome with high morbidity and mortality rates. Currently, few effective therapeutic interventions for ARDS are available. Clinical trials have shown that the effectiveness of aspirin is inconsistent. The contribution of platelets to the inflammatory response leading to the development of ARDS is increasingly recognized. The antiplatelet agent aspirin reportedly exerts a protective effect on acid- and hyperoxia-induced lung injury in murine models. Our previous study showed that pretreatment with aspirin exerts protective effects on hyperoxia-induced lung injury in mice. However, the mechanisms and therapeutic efficacy of aspirin in the posttreatment of hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (ALI) remain unclear. In this study, we used a homozygous NF-κB-luciferase+/+ transgenic mouse model and treated mice with low-dose (25 μg/g) or high-dose (50 μg/g) aspirin at 0, 24, and 48 h after exposure to hyperoxia (inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) > 95%). Hyperoxia-induced lung injury significantly increased the activation of NF-κB in the lung and increased the levels of macrophages infiltrating the lung and reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased the HO-1, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-4 protein levels, and reduced the CC10, SPC, eNOS, Nrp-1, and IκBα protein levels in the lung tissue. Pulmonary edema and alveolar infiltration of neutrophils were also observed in the lung tissue of mice exposed to hyperoxia. However, in vivo imaging revealed that posttreatment with aspirin reduced luciferase expression, suggesting that aspirin might reduce NF-κB activation. Posttreatment with aspirin also reduced hyperoxia-induced increases in the numbers of lung macrophages, intracellular ROS levels, and the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-4; it also increased CC10, SPC and Nrp-1 levels compared with hyperoxia exposure alone. Lung histopathology also indicated that the aspirin posttreatment significantly reduced neutrophil infiltration and lung edema compared with hyperoxia exposure alone. Aspirin effectively induces an anti-inflammatory response in a model of hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Thus, aspirin may have potential as a novel treatment for hyperoxia-induced ALI.

Abstract
Objectives Thrombotic and bleeding complications are common in COVID-19 disease. In a prospective study, we performed a comprehensive panel of tests to predict the risk of bleeding and thrombosis in patients admitted with hypoxic respiratory failure due to severe COVID-19 infection. Methods We performed a single center (step down and intensive care unit [ICU] at a quaternary care academic hospital) prospective study. Sequentially enrolled adult (≥18 years) patients were admitted with acute hypoxic respiratory failure due to COVID-19 between June 2020 and November 2020. Several laboratory markers of coagulopathy were tested after informed and written consent. Results Thirty-three patients were enrolled. In addition to platelet counts, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time, a series of protocol laboratories were collected within 24 hours of admission. These included Protein C, Protein S, Antithrombin III, ADAMTS13, fibrinogen, ferritin, haptoglobin, and peripheral Giemsa smear. Patients were then monitored for the development of hematological (thrombotic and bleeding) events and followed for 30 days after discharge. Twenty-four patients (73%) required ICU admissions. At least one laboratory abnormality was detected in 100% of study patients. Nine patients (27%) suffered from significant hematological events, and four patients had a clinically significant bleeding event requiring transfusion. No significant association was observed between abnormalities of coagulation parameters and the incidence of hematologic events. However, a higher SOFA score (10.89 ± 3.48 vs. 6.92 ± 4.10, p = 0.016) and CKD (5/9 [22.2%] vs. 2/24 [12.5%] p = 0.009) at baseline were associated with the development of hematologic events. 33.3% of patients died at 30 days. Mortality was similar in those with and without hematological events. Reduced ADAMTS13 level was significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion Routine extensive testing of coagulation parameters did not predict the risk of bleeding and thrombosis in COVID-19 patients. Thrombotic and bleeding events in COVID-19 patients are not associated with a higher risk of mortality. Interestingly, renal dysfunction and a high SOFA score were found to be associated with increased risk of hematological events.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a commonly encountered complex syndrome of varied etiology and outcomes. The elderly population is at a high risk of developing severe ARDS with poor outcomes. The age-related changes in the immune system, structural and functional modifications of the respiratory system, and the frailty with a decrease in the physiological reserve of organ systems place them precariously for poor outcomes. However, does age alone influence the outcomes or is it the associated comorbidities that determine mortality in the elderly is not clearly known. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE Jagathkar G.

Abstract
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is spreading rapidly worldwide, it has emerged as a leading cause of mortality, resulting in >1 million deaths over the past 10 months. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 remains unclear, posing a great challenge to the medical management of patients. Recent studies have reported an unusually high prevalence of thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients, although the mechanism remains elusive. Several studies have reported the presence of aPLs in COVID-19 patients. We have noticed similarities between COVID-19 and APS, which is an autoimmune prothrombotic disease that is often associated with an infective aetiology. Molecular mimicry and endothelial dysfunction could plausibly explain the mechanism of thrombogenesis in acquired APS. In this review, we discuss the clinicopathological similarities between COVID-19 and APS, and the potential role of therapeutic targets based on the anti-phospholipid model for COVID-19 disease.

Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly population (≥65 years of age). Additionally, age is widely reported as a risk factor for the development of ARDS. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms behind the increased risk of developing, and increased severity of, ARDS in the elderly population are not fully understood. This is compounded by the significant heterogeneity observed in patients with ARDS. With an aging population worldwide, a better understanding of these mechanisms could facilitate the development of therapies to improve outcomes in this population. In this review, the current clinical evidence of age as a risk factor and prognostic indicator in ARDS and the potential underlying mechanisms that may contribute to these factors are outlined. In addition, research on age-dependent treatment options and biomarkers, as well as future prospects for targeting these underlying mechanisms, are discussed.

Abstract
Background Infections could increase the risk of poor outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The peripheral neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an important indicator of inflammation. The purpose of our study was to investigate the association increased NLR with post stroke infections (PSI) in AIS. Methods In this study, we included 606 consecutive patients with AIS within 24 h. The NLR was calculated by dividing absolute neutrophil counts by absolute lymphocyte counts. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to identify the optimal cut point of NLR for PSI. The relationship between NLR and PSI was analyzed by multivariable analysis. Results We assessed 606 consecutive patients with AIS. ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut point of NLR for PSI was NLR ≥ 5.79. Compared with no PSI, patients with PSI have higher NLR, older age, higher NIHSS, higher PCT, higher percentage of nasogastric tube feeding and indwelling urinary catheter (P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis showed that NLR ≥ 5.79 [adjusted odds ratio (aOR),4.52; 95% confidence interval (CI),3.02–6.76; P < 0.001], older age (aOR,1.03; 95% CI, 1.00–1.05; P = 0.009), higher admission NIHSS (aOR,1.13; 95%CI, 1.07–1.18; P < 0.001), indwelling urinary catheter (aOR1.83; 95%CI, 1.08–3.10; P = 0.026], and nasogastric tube feeding (aOR2.52; 95%CI, 1.38–4.59; P = 0.003) were associated with increased risk of PSI. Conclusions Higher NLR can predict PSI in AIS patients. The NLR may help to select high-risk patients to start intervention in time.
